Sunday night, Dinosaur Jr. returns to the Showbox at the Market ($20 advance, 21+) in support of their recent release Farm. J Mascis may look like an aged gnome these days, but he's still one of the most inspired rock guitarists you'll ever hear. In a world dominated by strutting cock-rockers, Mascis is the like the last scion of Hendrix, a guitarist who understands the drama of rock 'n' roll. I've seen Dinosaur Jr. twice before, and both times were unforgettable.

Also on the bill is Brisbane, Australia's Violent Soho, a punk outfit that's capable of brutal bursts of energy, with buzz-saw guitars and a vocalist who hearkens back to the good old Britpop days.
